Description: "A fresh and provocative approach to the ongoing nature/nurture, How shall we shape the playspace? debate, this persuasive and controversial book illustrates and analyzes, in colorful detail, children's developing perceptions of their own-and the other sex's-gender identity. The authors conclude that efforts to modify traditional sexual stereotypes might more effectively be directed toward a later stage of development than that of the preschooler, if at all." --from book description, Amazon.com.
